Heavenly qualities
In the winter mornings
When the sun is late coming out
The winds are blowing
The grounds are frozen
I am still tucked in
You sneak out of bed
Ever so quietly… ever so gently
Trying hard not to disturb my sleep
Then when you start getting dressed
You don’t even put the lights on
Ever so quietly… ever so gently
Trying hard to give an extra hour sleep
But sometimes… despite all your efforts
I still wake up
And from the bottom of my heart
From the depths of my soul
I start my day… praying… for you
Your boundless love … endless compassion
Heavenly qualities
Never cease to amaze me
